An Electronics Engineer designs and builds the electronic systems used in modern technology. They work in sectors such as telecoms, manufacturing, defence and information technology.
Strong skills in maths and physics are core to this role. They form the basis of circuit design and signal processing. Engineers use simulation tools to model and test systems before they are built. They make sure designs meet technical rules and safety standards.
Electronics Engineers often work in mixed teams with software developers, systems engineers and project managers. Their work goes from early research and prototype building to installation and system upkeep.
Professional membership is a key step in this career. Engineers Australia approves degree programs and offers a path to Chartered status (CPEng), which most employers recognise.
